On public relation, he de clared. -The public calls everv on of us ranger. They dont differentiate between me or any of you. Tell the people the facts. They will accent what you tell them as facts. He stressed the need for every Forest Service employee to treat the public with courtesy and consideration, and said "Pont try to put 'people in their place even when you may think the situation calls for it Stlcknev told the croup that 26 persons In the headquarters office are involved in business management and that operation of the national forest is "bl business." Budget last year was approximately $1.5 million fur the forest, and for the next fis cal year it may reach 13 million. Receipts average more than l million, hitting $1,212,092 in 1904. Counties receive 23 of the rccclDts in lieu of taxes pro rated on lands within their boundaries. There are 11 coun ties which have some of the Umatilla within their bound arles. including Baker (very small). Grant. Morrow. Umatil la. Union. Wallowa and Wheel er in Oregon; Asotin, Columbia. Garfield and Walla Walla, in Washington. Last year Morrow county s share of the receipts was $29,454. Fir Costs High in Ktti fir pvrvnv on the Umatilla was $1.5 million, and In 1961 it was $1 million. In the last three years, with no big fires for suppression and con trol, it was about $500,000 an nually. Total employment in the Uma tilla National forest will peak at the maximum of 341 at the height of the summer season. In discussing his field of tim ber management. George said that his department operated under a total budget of $205,000 last year. A large part of the forest receipts come from sales of timber. Annual allowable timber harvest is 135.1 million board feet, which is divided al most equally between the nor thern (Pomeroy, Walla Walla and Pendleton) and southern (Heppner, Ukiah, Dale) work ing circles 67.2 million board feet for the north and 67.9 mil lion board feet for the south. Last year 111 million board feet were harvested, and it is con templated that sales this year will include 138 million. Doug las fir, larch, white fir and spruce comprise nearly two thirds of the timber in the na tional forest and the remaining one third U lmderoa pine, In 1964, 4O7.0O0 trees were planted on more than l.u acre and 7. pounds of aeed wa sown bv helicopter on more than 500 acre. i Average growth In the forest ! Is about lVi board ft per acre I per year, he aald. This can be brought up wun imn-tiou tentlon to Rood management pract ices.

Kurtl told of his work as en gineering assistant, which prtn clpallv include construction and design of roads and trail. The biggest lob Is that of road contract, which may reach $1,300,000 In 190i. he said. As the man in cnarge oi equip ment, he cautioned the men at the school that more action Is to be given to "dent and ding pick Ing." which In Forest Service parlance, means that all vehic les will be closely scrutinized for dents and damage. Reports must be filed Immediately for anv damage to vehicle. Hughes briefly outlined orga nizations of the fire school, which is broken down under four groups for class and field work. Camp Boss Benson "laid down the law" about being to classes on time and gave the time table of the rigid schedule which starts with morning call at 5:45 and doesn't end until after the evening session con cluding at 8:30.
